78 Herds and Flocks and Horses. 



Hackney ponies for fashionable harness work, and particu- 

 larly for ladies to drive on social visits and for pleasure, are 

 the rage in England; they fetch tremendous prices, and are 

 the most perfect harness ponies in existence. The breeding of 

 these beautiful little animals has been taken up in this coun- 

 try in a small way, but it is modest in the extreme, though it 

 offers a field in the great breeding industry that will grow and 

 mature into a rich harvest. The Hackney pom^ is an animal 

 that England is exporting to every country where she is send- 

 ing her Hackney horses. Why should not America profit by 

 her example, enterprise, and success?
